Hooray, Hooray for Wednesday!

I think we're ready to try this again...They've rescheduled us to have our little guy bright and early Wednesday morning, August 20. I feel like jumping up and down, but am hesitant to get too excited after last week. It just has to work out this time, doesn't it? As I mentioned before, that is also my grandfather's birthday and we are giving this little wonder his name as a middle name which makes that date all the more special. Thanks for celebrating with us. We'll keep you posted!

Live. Laugh. Love.

About McKay

Mr. McKay is a miracle. He was diagnosed with a soup of congenital heart defects while still in utero including: double inlet left ventricle (DILV), Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA), a large ASD which has now been modified to create a single atrium, pulmonary atresia, and dextrocardia. He has undergone a series of three open heart surgeries to reroute his plumbing into a flow more likely to meet his growing body's demand for oxygen. He is post BT Shunt (August 22, 2008) and post-Glenn (November 25, 2008), and most recently traveled cross country to have the Fontan procedure at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (July 9, 2010). Today, McKay is a growing near-three-year old challenged with developmental hurdles we are anxiously trying to help him overcome. McKay offers heart baby hope of the most robust proportions. This blog chronicles our adventures.
